CINEMA 4D: Rendering Motion Graphics for After Effects demonstrates how to take a simple logo animation in CINEMA 4D and transform it into a compelling motion graphic with After Effects, incorporating two distinct visual styles. Starting with a prebuilt animation rendered from CINEMA 4D, author Rob Garrott employs industry-standard techniques, utilizing materials, lights, and the library of effects in After Effects, to enhance the project's look and feel. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics include:

Setting up a multi-pass render

Batch rendering in CINEMA 4D

Importing 3D elements into After Effects

Creating and using precomps for compositing control

Compositing 3D text in a dynamic 3D environment

Creating a glow effect using Trapcode Starglow

Using 3D layers to create masking effects

Adding a flash bulb effect with CC Light Rays

Adding glows and glints to type

Creating a 2D camera shake effect using pre-comps

Adding depth of field with the Lens Blur effect

- Hi, I'm Rob Garrott and I'd like to welcome youto Cinema 4D rendering motion graphics for After Effects.In this course we'll go in depth with the processof rendering 3D elements from Cinema 4Dand compositing those elements in After Effectsto create spectacular finish motion graphics.We'll start by identifying essential third party pluginsthat we'll add exciting new workflow and design capabilitiesthrough these two powerful tools.Using an already prepared Cinema 4D animationwe'll see how to correctly set up object buffersfor compositing control and After Effects.We'll see how easy it can beto create animated video screensby attaching a video layer to 3D renders in After Effects.

We'll also use powerful third party effects to enhanceour render with glows and particles.I've been using After Effects for nearly 15 yearsand Cinema 4D for 13 yearsand I'm really excited to be able to show youthe power of this amazing combination.Now let's make some magic with Cinema 4Drendering motion graphics for After Effects.
